[1] In the year ending October 13, 2011 the airport had 30,400 aircraft operations, average 83 per day: 99% general aviation, <1% air taxi, and <1% military.
The aircraft was making an approach to the airport and had notified Air traffic control of low fuel but did not issue an emergency.
The Federal Aviation Administration later stated that the aircraft left William T Piper airport and experienced Engine failure and low fuel readings so it then turned around to try and land.
On June 20, 2014, a vintage single engine Taylor J-2 attending the fly-in crashed shortly after takeoff from the airport, the pilot and one passenger walked away with no injuries after landing in a tree in a backyard.
Witnesses at the fly-in reported seeing the aircraft stall several times, barely making it over the fence that surrounds the airport before crashing.
